Paul Weyland Golf student Madeleine Sheils qualifies for LPGA Q School Stage III

Congratulations to Paul Weyland Golf student Madeleine Sheils from Boise, Idaho for qualifying for LPGA Q School Stage III!  She finished a steady week of golf 73-70-76-71 (+2) in T37.

Going into the final round, Madeleine was one shot inside the number needed to qualify for Stage III, the final stage of LPGA Q School. She faced the adversity and shot 1 under par 71 which qualified her for stage 3.

Madeleine’s goal for the week was “acceptance.” She had a great game plan.  She planned her shot, executed it, accepted it, and moved on to the next shot.  Being able to accept your shots, good and bad, will really help maintain a positive attitude – the most important attribute to playing your best golf.  Madeleine is starting to understand that it’s not really about the destination of getting on the LPGA; it’s more about the journey and learning to really enjoy and embrace the journey!!

All the best to Madeleine at the final stage of Q school!!

What Makes A Nightmare Sports Parent — Or A Great One. Just Say “I Love To Watch You Play”

 

Below is a link to a great article about how to be the best sports parent you can be.  The next time you are taking your kids to  participate in a sport  just try telling them only one thing that “you love to watch them play”  and no matter how they play tell them again on the ride home and watch how happy they are.
